As the name suggests, Elite Vein Specialists focuses on one goal: eliminating unwanted spider and varicose veins. Dr. Nicholas Hyde?a Yale-trained, board-certified practitioner?oversees a staff of medical experts as they help clients achieve unblemished skin. They rely on minimally invasive methods to banish unwanted veins, such as sclerotherapy injections or ambulatory phlebectomy. Most treatments are quick and show results within two to three months, ensuring guests can get back to their everyday shorts-modeling routines.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Robert A. Harvey relaxes facial creases with FDA-approved treatments. While patients rest, the steady-handed doctor injects Botox or Dysport into the wrinkle-plagued area with a tiny needle, smoothing away flaws for 3–6 months with all the ease and grace of a pirouetting Zamboni. The injections treat crow's feet, ease furrowed brows, and can prevent future facial fault-lines from forming. For most patients, the procedures require no downtime, so they can return to their daily lives without further ado.
